Most excellent weekend in the woods. Little more crowded this round, unexpectedly, but shouldn’t have been. Opening Day, Deer season, Rifle. (lasts all of one week.) So lots of hunters out there using the site as their base of operations. Can’t hunt within 1/2 mile of any campsites, but being in the middle of Dan’l Boone Nat Forest,,, yup,,, Lots of woods and hills and valleys for the wiley Deer to lay low in.
Glad to see the shop hadn’t burned down while I was gone, but sum’un forgot to turn the coffee pot off. That sludge was THICK!! Hadn’t burned, thank the small gods, but was rendered down to ‘Highly likely to strip paint’,,,,
And Brudda J did a huge for the three of us that are functionally (not certifiable) insane (as his wife and mudder in law said)
Challenge coin.
Veterans know the significance of challenge coins. This hit me HARD, and it really truly means something. That coin will ride with me to remind me, “Y’ain’t alone”
But, no details of the workings of the weekend: what is shared at Kamp, stays at Kamp (other than deets like the coinage above) But I am MUCH better shape spiritually, ready to chew on bears if need be.
And tomorrow it all begins anew. Early call for the workaweek.
And right now, Doing the stuff that I can squeeze in before the darks hit. New belt on mower, and the mowed leaves here and Unks, Doing kamp laundry as I tap this out. Gonna have to go to Da’s here shortly and get him a load of wood from the woodshed and put it under his porch for the woodstove.
Stuff to do, more tomorrow as I can.
Love y’all
